Nah I don’t buy the cost and sacrifice approach. Cost can be done on a bare bones budget. And if the sacrifice is too much, then Loretta’s was never really the dream. If you don’t feel like this is wrong, Loretta’s was never the dream. The sacrifices made are why this is a big deal. Amateur...

Exactly. There ya go. When you have to work for something, the reward has meaning. When everyone gets to enjoy the reward without having to put in the work, that spoils it.

Also as brought to my attention, I’m going to have to agree that we may have an announcement of a venue change after this year. In that case, I get why they are doing this.

Nah it’s an awful thing. Anyone that shows up to amateur day that hasn’t earned a spot in the past isn’t going to understand the meaning of that first lap of practice. The whole marketing of the event went down the drain. People have spent and are continuing to spend years just to try to earn...

Glen Helens big downhill is wicked for sure. My first time there on a loaner bike, the suspension would just pack in and be fully bottomed out by the time I got near the end of the braking bumps going down that thing. Every lap I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to slow down enough to make the turn...

The latest Wildcat regional was the toughest race conditions I’ve had, yet the track itself on a good day is pretty fun and simple. Baja is rough anytime, but a regional there turns it up a notch above anything I’ve ridden. The Ironman regional a couple years ago was pretty rough and tough...

Agree. Coops is more like Baja style for sure. If you can make the trek to Supercoop, it’s worth it for real sand practice. Mxexpress is good in a pinch for sand practice though.

Heard he’s riding under the PCWORX tent

Anyone may enter after the deadline, I’m just not sure how that affects alternates that have already been seeded in. I know for 25+, some alternates have already been placed(Kenny Henry), Woodring was set to be the next alternate but got bumped back once Brown registered.

Also on the list for 40+

Yeah that’s how it goes if you don’t register in time. I’d still expect to see him on the gate being 1st alternate though.

Just saw Mike Brown get added to the alternate list. Don’t count him out just yet.

Whether it’ll suck or not, it’s definitely the most anticipated race. I’m looking forward to seeing what all they change for the National

I will 2nd that Kawis are dirt cheap. I’m in the market for a new bike and they are tempting, but I don’t think that’s what I want.

The manual may show otherwise, but you really don’t need to be doing all that to the bike just yet. I do pistons on my 450 at 25-40 hours depending on race time and I think I run the bike pretty hard, would be comfortable going 60 hours but it’s cheap and easy to do myself so why not. Valves...

Agree, been doing this for years man! Just line your intake with some grease and you’re good!

I’d run that one all day, unless it was a race.

I’ve heard it is

Ya gotta think a filter every ride adds up quick. I’ll go through 4 a week normally. Maintenance on the bike when you’re riding almost every day is tough enough to keep up with, so not having to worry about washing filters for a month or so is nice. Hell I just ordered 5 more to cycle out a...
